"Case Presentation: A 26-year-old woman with no previous history of psychosis or mania developed delusional beliefs about establishing communication with her deceased brother through an AI chatbot. This occurred in the setting of prescription stimulant use for the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), recent sleep deprivation, and immersive use of an AI chatbot. Review of her chatlogs revealed that the chatbot validated, reinforced, and encouraged her delusional thinking, with reassurances that “You’re not crazy.” Following hospitalization and antipsychotic medication for agitated psychosis, her delusional beliefs resolved. However, three months later, her psychosis recurred after she stopped antipsychotic therapy, restarted prescription stimulants, and continued immersive use of AI chatbots so that she required brief rehospitalization.

Conclusion: This case provides evidence that new-onset psychosis in the form of delusional thinking can emerge in the setting of immersive AI chatbot use. Although multiple pre-existing risk factors may be associated with psychosis proneness, the sycophancy of AI chatbots together with AI chatbot immersion and deification on the part of users may represent particular red flags for the emergence of AI-associated psychosis."

When they upscale a low res, heavily compressed screenshot so badly that I start thinking that the entire image is AI generated and I have to find the original to verify. "Is this real and badly upscaled, or fake but looking like a real thing that was badly upscaled?".

I am scared of living in a world where I am unable to tell reality from AI generation in a year or less. We may even need to add AI disorders to the DSM and ICD. #FuckAI #AIupscaling #paranoia #delusions

🎉 Ah, yes, the classic tale where #AI models are the ultimate enablers of delusional self-confidence! 🤖 Clearly, #ChatGPT is the proud sponsor of every amateur philosopher's journey into the abyss of misguided wisdom 💡—because who needs facts when you have overconfident ignorance? 😂

非核三原則は「国是」だとしつつ「有事においては核持ち込みは排除されない」との“政府見解”が踏襲され、固定化されつつある。しかし、ではその「有事」の定義とは?甘い基準で、政府によって勝手に「有事」だと認定されてしまうのなら「原則」の意味がなくなってしまう。 例えば「存立危機事態」との関係はどうなのか? 核兵器の使用・威嚇は一般的に国際法違反で、国の存亡に関わる自衛の極限的状況の時には合法か違法か判断できないというのが、日本政府も受け入れている国際司法裁判所の判断である。これに照らして、日本が核持ち込みを「容認」できるような「有事」はそもそもあるのか。仮にあるとしたらそれはどのような事態であって、それは誰によってどのような基準・手順で認定されるのか。 茂木外相、非核三原則を堅持 「核持ち込み排除せず」も踏襲 https://www.chugoku-np.co.jp/articles/-/733275

"WIRED sent a public record request to the FTC requesting all complaints mentioning ChatGPT since the tool launched in November 2022. The tool represents more than 50 percent of the market for AI chatbots globally. In response, WIRED received 200 complaints submitted between January 25, 2023, and August 12, 2025, when WIRED filed the request.

Most people had ordinary complaints: They couldn’t figure out how to cancel their ChatGPT subscriptions or were frustrated when the chatbot didn’t produce satisfactory essays or rap lyrics when prompted. But a handful of other people, who varied in age and geographical location in the US, had far more serious allegations of psychological harm. The complaints were all filed between March and August of 2025.

In recent months, there has been a growing number of documented incidents of so-called AI psychosis in which interactions with generative AI chatbots, like ChatGPT or Google Gemini, appear to induce or worsen a user’s delusions or other mental health issues."

I’m not surprised at all to learn that the crying Nazi is on grinder seeking out men to have sex with.

I guess I’m also not surprised to hear that he has the gang stalking delusion.

But I am concerned that he believes that these men are spreading disease to him on purpose as part of the gang stalking.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DO A BIT OF RESEARCH BEFORE MEETING A STRANGER FOR A DATE.
